<p>Yes, a helmet saved my life. My helmet gave up its life by breaking the windshield of a mini van in an accident. I was knocked out for 4 hours after the crash during a training ride, and suffered post-concussion syndrome for what felt like months more.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Yes I will always wear a helmet riding my bike at any speed. I will pay more for more protection. If the helmet is better if it is slightly bigger and heavier I would consider it. I am in the market for a new helmet this year,…</p>

<p>Yes I will always wear a helmet riding my bike at any speed. I will pay more for more protection. If the helmet is better if it is slightly bigger and heavier I would consider it. I am in the market for a new helmet this year, and will take the POC and Scott helmets into consideration.</p>

<p>Since a helmet's protection is only good once you crash it, and since historically I have only crashed a helmet 2X in my 20 year cycling career, style and comfort matter as well.

My brother stutters from a bike accident when we were kids.<br />
I crashed recently on my BMX bike with a ProTec (no safety endorsement). Thankfully, I was OK.<br />
<br />
I would pay extra for a safer helmet as long as it fit right.

<p>1) Yes, probably. I'd want to know there were real gains.</p>
<p>2) Depends on how much heavier. I suppose with 100g.</p>

<p>3) Yes, probably. I lost consciousness briefly after a crash during 'cross practice.</p>
